Presumptive presidential nominees Hillary Clinton and Donald
Trump took very different approaches in response to a
horrific mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando,
Florida, which left at least 50 people dead.

In a series of tweets on Sunday, the presumptive Republican
presidential nominee highlighted the shooter's potential links to
terrorism.

Later in the afternoon, Trump thanked supporters who
congratulated him for "being right" about the dangers of
terrorist acts committed by extremists. He also knocked President
Barack Obama's decision not to say "radical Islamic terrorism"
when referring to religious extremists, which Obama
refuses to do because he says it propagates the
notion that the US is at war with Islam.

Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism, I don't want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance. We must be smart!

In an interview on "Meet The Press," Sen. Bernie Sanders
also weighed in, expressing his sympathy for the victims and
calling for stricter gun-control laws.

"It's horrific, it's unthinkable, and my hopes go out
to all those who were shot that they can recover," Sanders said.
"And I've got to tell you, 25 years ago, I believe that in this
country, we should not be selling automatic weapons which are
designed to kill people. We have got to do everything that we can
on top of that to make sure that guns do not fall into the hands
of people who should not have them — criminals, people who are
mentally ill."
